White phase 1, now with added truck turbo and massive head gasket failure

[Matt]

we dont use those either

Actually, pretty sure a few people use them.....



And welcome along buddy, looks like a decent build you have there. Get a project thread up

[Tom]

Welcome man! Love turbos sat there like that! Look so mean!

[Ruan]

Cool project mate, you're not too far from me, I'm over in Gloucester..

Be interesting to see what this makes!

[parrotveasey81]

is the turbo a twin entry???

[ozonehostile]

is the turbo a twin entry???

well spotted haha, yes i believe it is a twin entry turbo as the engine it was designed for was a 6 cylinder

[parrotveasey81]

well spotted haha, yes i believe it is a twin entry turbo as the engine it was designed for was a 6 cylinder

did you match the cylinders into twos for each entry on your manifold for the turbo???

its a 4-2-1 manifold with a plate separating the 2 channels

[parrotveasey81]

cool
when you do your next manifold are you going to separate the cylinders into pairs and run two 2 into 1's for eash entry??

[ozonehostile]

yeah that sounds like a good future improvement. highly reccommend twin entry turbos though, it spools up as fast as a turbo half its size

and if what i have read is right it should spool up even faster when you separate the cylinders into the right pairs

very good point buddy, a trip to the pipe welder might be in order soon.....

[zx_volcane]

Looking great! Size of that turbo is immense.

[Poodle]

Really good to see someone use a twin scroll unit, been dying to get hold of one myself.

[sam]

This is awsome

[Arron]

Winner... best colour and massive Turbo!!

[SonnyRoby]

Thanks mate for the specs on the turbo. Love how the car looks with that intercooler in the bumper.

Prob the reason mines in a little box now actually

[studturbo]

Bet that's rapid where did you get gearmount for turbo made from?

All the custom mounts and pipework work was done by a bloke in london who I bought the project off

5 door dturbo - fair play to you bud and big welcome to the site from another 5 dr Dtub owner from across the other side of the 3 counties
Looks like a beast from what I've read - hurry up and get a project thread up with loads of pics and some specs!

[ozonehostile]

Really impressed with the interrst my car has generated so far, thanks for the welcome everyone!.
Lots of project updates coming soon, got to re-insure it again then begins big spec upgrades to cope with all the extra power, first job Is getting a decent gti6 rear disc beam on (if anyone has one?, preferably refurbed) also need to get some bigger brakes upfront as it feels like Im pushing my luck with the gti items a bit :/

[ash240970]

406 V6 brakes and front hubs fit I believe - with a bit of woek

[Ben]

Gti brakes on the front should honestly feel plenty good enough, maybe they just need a service. Mine weren't so good a few months ago, turned out a slider was seized. They are great again now.

Only place I've ever seen refurbed beams is eBay, around 250-350 I think. Not a bad price I'd say looking at how much it would cost for two shafts and the bearings.

Nice car btw ill be keeping and eye on its progress. Interested to learn more about the type of turbo, sounds like it spools up very quickly for its size.

[Pugmarshall]

As Andy says, 406 Brembo calipers from a V6 are a good upgrade. They do squeel quite badly at low speeds but if you can live with it they're fine.

[ash240970]

If you fit the hubs and carriers as well I believe the squealing is virtually eliminated

[ozonehostile]

406 brembos sound like the way to go just had a quick browse on the gti forum, pretty useful info on brake conversions, roll on payday haha

[ash240970]

And if you ever get fed up of the 1.9 engine I have a 2.1 sat in my parts store(Malvern) I don't think I'll ever get round to using - be rude not to once you've got the bigger brakes on lol

[Niall]

good luck fitting the hubs. we looked into this. Its a completely different design ball joint

looks good. will be keeping an eye on this one!

Ooh a 2.1, now theres an Idea! You got any other nice parts you wouldnt miss?

[Curt]

Looks good dude, love the massive blower
